Dai Donglin untied the apron strap and walked out of the kitchen with Chu Yu. Chu Yu secretly whispered in his ear:
"Comrade Dai, you're quite capable! This is like an ugly son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law, and you still know how to make a good impression."
Dai Donglin smiled and put his arm around her shoulder. "It's clearly your boyfriend who's capable. He can cook. Your mother knows I can take good care of you, and she's very satisfied with me."
Chu Yu smiled and kissed his lips.
They had just kissed when Chu Chu walked in and saw them. Chu Chu covered her eyes and said, "You two continue, continue, I didn't see anything."
After saying that, she covered the cat's eyes and took the kitten out with her.
Dai Donglin was embarrassed, while Chu Yu laughed and leaned against him. She sniffed, "Why do I smell pickled vegetable water? This isn't the smell of my mom's pickled vegetables. Where have you been?"
With a sullen face, Dai Donglin recounted the events of the morning to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu never expected Cao Xueying to be so shameless.
"Shamelessness is indeed hereditary. She's just as awful as her father, Cao Gang." Chu Yu wasn't one to tolerate such behavior and was about to confront her when Dai Donglin stopped her.
Public opinion can be devastating. People can't control what others say. Even if someone is innocent, others will still think that he had an affair with Cao Xueying.
He's fine with it; he's always been self-centered and never cares what others say.
But Chu Yu lives here, and Shu Hui has a hard time raising her three daughters. Dai Donglin doesn't want to cause Shu Hui any trouble.
Chu Yu almost laughed; how could there be all sorts of people in this world?
Last night, Dai Donglin was originally going to Chu Yu's place, but his mother forced him to stay at home overnight.
As a son, he had to fulfill his filial duty, so he called Chu Yu that evening and said he would come to keep her company again that day.
Dai Donglin happened to want to visit Shu Hui.
That's why they arranged to meet at Shu Hui's place.
Dai Donglin's first visit to Shu Hui's place has already drawn the attention of the Cao family? Just like Cao Gang's click on Shu Hui, it's absurd. How can this family be so presumptuous and shameless? Or is this just the Cao family's true nature?
Chu Yu then told Dai Donglin about Cao Gang harassing Shu Hui and climbing over the wall in the middle of the night. Dai Donglin's brows furrowed in dismay.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Climbing over the wall in the middle of the night is no small matter. It's fortunate that nothing serious happened. If something had happened, Dai Donglin didn't even want to think about the consequences.
"You were still in Hong Kong back then, so it wouldn't have mattered if I told you."
“I have to go back to Hong Kong in a while. I’m really worried about leaving you alone in Beijing. If you find Li Jinchao and Chen Shunan to be helpful, I’ll call them over and have them be your bodyguards.”
Chu Yu thought it was an exaggeration. Her wealth was far less than Dai Donglin's, and she hadn't reached the point where she needed to hire a bodyguard.
"How can you say it's unnecessary? You've been harassed by people using VPNs, and you're saying it's not necessary?"
Dai Donglin disagreed, arguing that everything should be planned for in advance, and that we shouldn't wait until something happens to regret it.
Chu Yu's objections were ineffective. Fortunately, after the incident at the mutual aid society, she was also a little worried about her own safety, so she agreed to call the two people back.
"Two is a bit of an exaggeration. I usually teach at school and don't need bodyguards much. How about we call Li Jinchao back? Chen Shunan will stay in Gangcheng to protect you. You can't object. Don't think that only you will worry about me, and that I won't worry about you."
Dai Donglin always appreciated her words, so the two of them agreed to call Li Jinchao back to protect Chu Yu.
During dinner, Chu Yu mentioned wanting to buy a sea-view apartment.
She handed the file bag to Shu Hui. When Shu Hui heard that she wanted to buy another house, she found it unbelievable. Why would someone so young need so many houses?
The loans for those 20 houses from last time haven't been paid off yet.
Two apartments were given to Cai Jinquan, and two apartments were given to Chu Xiang and Chu Chu each, leaving 14 apartments. Adding the courtyard house in Beijing and the two apartments in Deyang, Shu Hui felt that her daughter had too many apartments. She couldn't even remember how many apartments she owned at her age. What was going on?
Chu Yu heard about her concerns and felt a little kind of compassion.
"When I really own that many properties, I'll hire someone to manage them for me. Rich people all have their own managers, so you don't need to worry."
Shu Hui was stunned. She needed to hire someone to manage the house? Was that really necessary?
"Of course it's necessary. Take the housing prices in Hong Kong for example. With more properties, it's normal to have a monthly rent of several hundred thousand. If you can't manage them yourself, you can pay someone ten thousand or so yuan to help manage them, or entrust them to a professional real estate agency. I can't possibly fly to Hong Kong and rent them out to others one by one, can I?"
Shu Hui has really seen the world.
Chu Yu had all the family's money, and Chu Yu used it to buy a house without any objection.
"Don't worry, I'll take you and your sisters into consideration, since they'll get a share of the money too."
"I don't worry about what you do. Besides, your sisters have nothing to complain about. If it weren't for you, they would still be farming in Shanguan Village. They wouldn't be where they are today."
Shu Hui wasn't biased, but she couldn't help but favor Chu Yu. The family business was built by Chu Yu, and Yorkham was essentially Chu Yu's business; she was just a manager.
In this situation, it is simply impossible to divide it perfectly equally.
Shu Hui felt that dividing the spoils equally would be unfair, so she wanted to show more favoritism to Chu Yu, hoping to make Chu Yu have ulterior motives.
But this girl is upright and honest in her actions, and she always considers her and her two younger sisters in everything she does.
Shu Hui felt that she must have accumulated a lot of good karma in her past life to have given birth to such a wonderful daughter.
What is happiness? This is happiness!
Chu Yu spoke eloquently: "In a few years, I want to buy a piece of land on the hillside in Hong Kong and build a sea-view villa. By then, our family will have a firm foothold in Hong Kong."
It would be a lie for Dai Donglin to say he wasn't surprised; Chu Yu had only been in Hong Kong for a few days.
She could never possibly know anything about the hillside villas, yet she could say it so naturally.
There are too many mysteries surrounding her, which Dai Donglin chooses to ignore, but that doesn't mean he's a fool; he simply trusts her unconditionally.
It was a rare occasion for Chu Yu and Dai Donglin to meet. After dinner, Shu Hui sent them both out, letting the young couple enjoy some alone time.
She had just finished clearing the dishes when Cao Gang, emboldened by alcohol, came in.
Shu Hui was startled. "You...who let you in!"
